The Beach Boys’ PET SOUNDS (Part 3, Ep. 220)
Chuck Granata’s book Wouldn’t It Be Nice: Brian Wilson And The Making Of The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds is the ultimate dissection of Brian Wilson’s 1966 masterpiece. Chuck and I wound up diving so deep into the record, we unfortunately had to seek treatment for the bends…thankfully it was a risk worth taking, as Discograffiti’s Pet Sounds Deep-Dive Series stands as a unique combination of factual obsession and personal connection. Episode 3 is an examination of everything you’ll ever need to know about the remainder of Pet Sounds’ Side 1: “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder),” “I’m Waiting For The Day,” “Let’s Go Away For Awhile,” and “Sloop John B.”Here’s just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:Brian Wilson’s studio preparation for the production of “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)”;What Brian feels is “the one cut off the album I didn’t really like that much”;The Burt Bacharach song on which Brian had felt he’d subconsciously based “Let’s Go Away For Awhile”;The stunning original intention for the final planned Pet Sounds session, before that date was used to knock out the entire mix of the LP;Brian’s Great Bahamian Folk Song Swindle;A full half-hour interview with Sid Sharp, whose string section played on virtually all of Brian's string dates, including both Pet Sounds and "Good Vibrations” (in The Director’s Cut only);And how both Chuck and I connect with “Don’t Talk,” “I’m Waiting For The Day,” “Let’s Go Away For Awhile,” and “Sloop John B” in a laid-bare, explicitly personal way.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.
